If a person was to convert a 13B that happened to be sitting around to
P-Port, how does one seal around the P-Port tube that goes into the rotor
chamber.  The area where the tube goes through the housing is a water
passage.

I suspect the answer is "JB Weld" or some other epoxy. But will that really
hold up in the long run without developing even little cracks that water
under pressure won't go through?

I used Devcon Plastic steel. Plastic aluminum would have been better. If the runner is large and round make it thick walled to support the pressure when you torque up the stack.
